I appreciate WRAL's weather coverage. We may not have had all the "bad" stuff that was predicted yesterday, but all of the meterologists on other channels and stations were calling for snow and ice, not just WRAL. I, too, am from the north and to my fellow northerners who mock the habits of the area and how they handle snow -- please, get over it. We're in the south, and while I miss more snow, if I wanted to see it, I'd move back up there. I'm down here for a reason and I love it.

It was nice not having to deal with lots of traffic on my commute to and from work today. It made me wish I were a kid again, but then accumulation this small wouldn't have closed the schools. We would have had to WALK to school...up hill both ways!

the make up day for Wake is THIS Saturday? wow that is fast! hope no one had weekend plans!

Yes celtic1976. Up north they do know how to drive in the bad weather and snow. I know I lived there for 57 years in the Buffalo area. The difference is up there we had the equipment we needed to keep the roads clear and safer. Down here they don't have all that, because it is not needed that often. They have recently used brine water, like we did up north, and that helps the roads alot.

I'd like to commend the weather team for a job well done in forecasting this event. Their predictions were right on the money for my area.

Hey, why do people buy eggs and milk when a winter storm comes? I mean, if it were a really bad storm and you lost power, wouldn't your eggs and milk just go bad? Just a random thought...

cant belive t v spent 6 hours to report an inch of snow fall i think the world has forgotton how to use common sense and apply it to our everyday life

maybe those that had wrecks today are asking why they werent told how to drive in snow thank god i depend on what i belive to be safe and when its best to stat home dont need wral here

"Schools in Wake, Durham, Orange County, Chatham, Caswell, Vance, Person and Granville counties and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools were closed for Thursday. Johnston, Vance, Franklin and Harnett counties opened on a delay."

So, Vance County Schools were on a 2-hr delay AND closed at the same time? And if I remember, Harnett County was also closed today, along with Franklin and Johnston? The on-air reports were very consistent and accurate, but it seems to me that WRAL.com is becoming more and more likely to get the facts wrong or confused, especially when the news deals with places other than Wake or Durham counties... Great job on the Winter Weather Coverage, though! It's always nice to just sit back, relax, and see what's going on around the area -- really makes it feel like Winter, finally!

Just rain in Sanford now; I think WRAL did a nice job with their forecast from the beginning and with today's coverage. It was nice to have my son at home today; we'll remember how much fun we had today when it comes time for the make up day at school! I was a little surprised that so many school systems cancelled today, but I would rather them be safe with the kids. Hope everyone enjoyed the snow today!

I love staying at home for no reason, yes. Thanks!

FYI "if you don't like the weathe, wait 5 minutes and it will change" is a phrase that everyone in thise country thinks applies to their neck of the woods. I've heard in here, NY, NJ, VT, ME, MN and ID! Weather is an imperfect science because in order to predict it you have to to so many variables into account, forcasters do the best they can. As for schools being closed, better safe that sorry. Up north we used to get 6+ inches and schools were open, but we all knew how to drive and snow, and all we had to contend with was snow. Driving in snow is easy, but driving on ice is impossible! Yes there was a lot of coverage, and to me it seemed a bit excessive last night, but I am aure it was helpful this morning to a lot of people as the conditions began to change.
